Constructive people
The construction sector comprises over 350,000 companies dedicated to building or renovating our buildings, major structures, roads, businesses, institutions, or homes. The maintenance of their motorized equipment is essential to their productivity.
A fruitful summer season
Maintenance is done year-round, both in preparation for and throughout the summer, when construction sites are in full swing. The construction industry tends to favour large volume containers, including plastic pails, drums, and to a lesser extent 4L and 1L containers which we recycle.
Locations across the country
Construction companies are unique in that their work can take them all over the map, depending on where sites are located. We have locations across Canada and travel off the beaten path to serve the recycling needs of this dynamic sector.
To date, 7% of our recovered material comes from the construction sector. Contact our team to find out how we can recover your contaminated containers.
